Chris should have been the winner of the darned thing and he went off. I know it wasn't my fault, I voted a gazillion (redial) times for him. I cannot believe it! I am sick to my stomach!

In my opinion Elliot should have gone home a long time ago, although this week he was okay so I would have thought Katherine, who has had two bad weeks in a row, should have been voted off. Don't get me wrong, I love her voice, but based on her performances AND forgetting the words - time to go home, sweetie.

I am sure Chris is going to get picked up soon though - and I will buy his CD!

I did watch and I was shocked as well. I thought Katherine would have gone although I wouldn't have been happy with her either.

In my opinion, what happened is that Chris has been consistant in his singing and sings the same types of songs all the time. When the others stepped up to the plate this week, I think some of his fans decided to vote based on the performances rather than just voting for Chris cause he was their favorite.

It is a surprise that he is gone. I thought he and Katherine were going to be the final two (yes, in spite of her dropping a word or two). A lot of people seem to like Taylor for some reason, but I'm just not feeling it (Elliot either). I think Katherine's voice is amazing, and she just sparkles for the camera. I think she has the most potential to have commercial success (of those remaining). I agree with you about Chris. He'll be fine.

I'm still in shock. I am beginning to wonder if it isn't rig. I mean they never do tell the actual results. Just seems really suspicious to me. Kathryn should of def. been gone as a result of her last few performances.

I heard on Regis & Kelly that Chris got an offer from a band ????? started with a F.....to be lead singer but he turned them down. No matter he'll def. be recording soon and we'll be seeing a whole lot of him.

Simon or Randy will sign him, if not someone bigger. He's too good not to having a contract. I don't like Elliot!! Katherine is good as long as it's her kind of thing. She can't change it up like others. IMO, there still hasn't been as good a singer that can switch from one genre to another like Kelly Clarkson did. I like Taylor also, but, he's a different sound than what we expect an American Idol to be. I'm over it now that Chris is gone. I don't care who wins now.

Texasgirl, I'm with you - I don't want to watch anymore. I say that now til next Tuesday. Anyways, Katherine's voice is great with one type of genre - I agree. I absolutely LOVE Chris' voice and can't wait til he makes a cd. What band made him an offer? Does anyone know? I am wearing black today.

Mm.... You're taking this harder than I thought. You must have really been emotionally invested in this competition. Too bad America didn't know how you felt. I'm sure they would have changed their votes for you... if they had only known. : : sigh : :
